"Ahaha, aren't ya' getting way too comfortable with these now?" Carter gave a soft chuckle from the other end. "As I promised, I gave you a call as soon as I reached."

"Don't recall sayin' 'as soon as', Airi snorted back at him. "But it's fine, I'm glad ya did."

"Well then, good night. Let your parents know on my behalf as well."

" 'kay, will do, " she bid him good night as well and ended the call.

"Who was that?" Max asked as soon as Airi put down the phone.

"It was Carter. I told him to inform me when he reaches, so it was for that."

"Ah, I see, " he nodded back, returning his attention to the show broadcasting on the television.

"Paa, Maa, Imma head to the bed, 'kay? I feel too beat. Hafta' go to work even tomorrow, " Airi got up from the sofa to head towards her room.
